Spring
2011 Listing

SOLD!

This
classic brick colonial, in The Preserve/Small Nursery
neighborhood of Rockville, is a lovely home that has been elegantly decorated. One enters the home to a dramatic, two-story
foyer and hallway. Ahead is a staircase that goes to the upper level. To the left of the foyer is a small library/study,
and the elegant, formal living room is found on the right. The living room opens into a formal
dining room which is separated by an entrance that has open spaces in the walls, on either side.
There is crown molding throughout this first floor level as well as hardwood flooring, and a chair rail in the dining
room. The living room is painted a light blue, while the dining room picks up this color in a deeper hue, with a dark navy blue below the chair railing, and a lighter shade above.

Beyond the dining room, one enters into a beautiful gourmet kitchen with a
center island breakfast bar that has granite countertops and a light stone tile floor. It also has stainless steel appliances and a light, maple wood cabinetry. At one end of the kitchen is a breakfast area that overlooks double glass doors which lead out to a backyard deck. From the breakfast area is a step-down into a large, cozy family room that has a brick fireplace and windows overlooking the backyard. Adjacent to
the upper-level/kitchen area, there is an entrance with a staircase that goes down to a lower level spacious recreation room. There is also a separate laundry room across from the breakfast area, and a
hallway that leads back to the front foyer, with a small, charming powder room on the same side as the library.

On the upstairs level there are four bedrooms which are fully carpeted, including the master suite. Two bedrooms share a bath to the right of the upstairs landing, and a third bedroom has its own separate, private bath, to the left. Beyond this is the master suite which features two very large walk-in closets, as well as a separate sitting area, and a luxury bath with a separate shower and double-sink vanities.

The lower level includes a large, carpeted recreation room, as well as a separate, but small exercise room, and a large storage room. There is a small hallway from the bottom of the stairs that leads to a wet bar and then opens into a larger entertainment area, with an upper level that has a pool table and closets, and a lower level where there is a second fireplace.

The back of the home features a deck with trees on the perimeter of the yard.

To the left of the foyer is a small library/study, and a powder room just off of the hallway,
going back towards the kitchen and family room, from the front foyer.
